Bike Fittings – Offered at our Nashua Practice
Get the Most Out of Your Ride
Cycling is a great way to build fitness and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, 85% of all cyclists experience some form of knee, back, neck/shoulder, and/or saddle pain when riding.
Riding a bike should be pain-free! The first step begins with a professional Bike Fit. There are bike shops offering fitting, but we feel these should be tailored to your musculoskeletal needs. Our MPT in Nashua is a cyclist, has worked with professional athletes, and is well-adept at clinical bike fittings. Check out his bio here: Shad Hansen.
